There’s no showtimes listed for tomorrow June 4th, 2026, all of today’s showings are sold out.
It will close after the final showings of “BackRooms”, “ The BreadWinner” and “ the Mandolorian & Grogu”
CinemaLab website no longer relevant for this venue. According to an Asbury Press article , there was a “BradleyLab” that was going to do renovations- no longer the case..
yeah,it’s a very confusing thing. I wasn’t sure what was right, having been at both places and that one of the “contributor” is called Glenn Dale, a play on the town that the Brand is
I found this too online

So next time im at each venue I can investigate or have someone there now check. Plus so many Burbank AMCS, oy.
Since the theater opened in 2003 at the Americana at Brand in Burbank, the escalator has frustrated patrons due to its exposed location, where rain, broken glass, and even a medical emergency trigger frequent shutdowns. Maintenance involves makeshift fixes like jumpstarting it, complicated by a chain of responsibility from AMC to property manager CBRE and owner EPR Properties, with Fujitec handling repairs. Locals treat it as a quirky guessing game, joking it’s haunted, while EPR eyes upgrades or a costly replacement—no firm timeline yet.
This should be marked open.
Unsure when it did re-open, but on May 1st the Globe will be hosting an event for “House of Glory Wresting” - there are other events scheduled for the month of May 2026.
Opening appears to have been sometime in 2025 - from their site
“2025
A Venue Reimagined
Now a modern event and production space, the Globe Theatre blends historic grandeur with state-of-the-art production capabilities for concerts, film shoots, and private events"
so that makes it the 2nd oldest regularly operating theatre in SF ? What a nice venue & impressive line up of titles being screened.
Wonder why they were unable to get “San Francisco” especially with the 18th is the 120th anniversary of the Earthquake.
Good plan, especially with one of the grandest movie palaces of them all sitting vacant and gutted all of these years after a terribly failed experiment.
In this particular case 40th & Girard isn’t the most affulent communities in Philadelphia. But hey, you wish to make a go of it.
I have not. My trips to Hollywood have not been as much as I’d like, but love old Hollywood and the theatres and reading some of those names ( yes I’m old enough to know the majority) makes me wish I could have been.
No movies coming here, but you might be able to find your lost shaker of salt here.
Report today that the entire Philadelphia Mills is going to be redeveloped as a mixed use development, youth sports venue, Homewood Suites and Margaritaville Water Park
The only Port Richmond Pharmacy I know about is on E Allegheny Ave near Thompson, no where near where the Clearfield was. I also looked around online for some more info about this fire and couldn’t find anything.
Is there links or photos I might have missed? thanks.
A little bit of research provides the answer- back in the 1920’s it was known as Reade’s Trent theatre- so that name was on long before the formation of the Walter Reade company.
Walter Reade, Sr owned theatres, mainly in Asbury Park, NJ -so that could be the Reade in the name- but it was before the formation of the company.
the building is now part of the Philadelphia register of historic places.
“ According to the nomination, the Circle Theatre is “a significant surviving example of a neighborhood theater from a period when many were built” in the 1910s and ‘20s. The theater’s architects, Hoffman-Henon Co., “significantly shaped Philadelphia’s built environment through their commissions for theaters and Catholic institutions,” such as churches and schools.The Hoffman-Henon architectural firm designed the Circle Theatre for the major movie theater chain Stanley Company of America. ”

Journalist Solves AMC Burbank 16’s Broken Escalator Mystery

the website listed in 2023 is still accurate.

you find a painting of one of the most iconic moments in cinema history hideous, got it..
Good plan, especially with one of the grandest movie palaces of them all sitting vacant and gutted all of these years after a terribly failed experiment.
In this particular case 40th & Girard isn’t the most affulent communities in Philadelphia. But hey, you wish to make a go of it.
Good luck to you.
I have not. My trips to Hollywood have not been as much as I’d like, but love old Hollywood and the theatres and reading some of those names ( yes I’m old enough to know the majority) makes me wish I could have been.
Thank you.
Wow, what a great list. So many iconic names trod the boards of the Ivar. Thanks so much for sharing it!
After watching the story I saw 2 murals, by local artist Anna Taylor.
“horribly rendered” is the last thing I’d be referring to them as.
Newbold Exchange is still open, which is great that South Philly has a space like that for remote workers.
well yes, 2021-2024 is the early 2020’s as noted in the opening paragraph. Thank you for your clarification.
there’s a Quick Stop located at 3001 Kensington Ave, that’s a bit of a ways from this intersection.
Without having an exact location, it’s gonna be tough to pin down what’s really there now.
Unless the image on google maps is seriously wrong, I don’t really see anything “hideous” about the building.

Pity that amby_moho didn’t get to those those photos or Ron scanned and uploaded that program. Hope they’re all doing well.
20?
225-212 is 13, right?
Times Square?
Please mark theatre as “open” - today (2/28/26) will be a “Behind the Scenes” open house. First event is Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s live show.
Will be operating mainly as a live event venue.
I see it listed as RKO Reade’s
A little bit of research provides the answer- back in the 1920’s it was known as Reade’s Trent theatre- so that name was on long before the formation of the Walter Reade company.
Walter Reade, Sr owned theatres, mainly in Asbury Park, NJ -so that could be the Reade in the name- but it was before the formation of the company.
the main department store space is now leased to Marshalls
